IPS filter on Policy ID with multiple protocols

Hi 

I have following question

Lets assume we have a firewall policy permitting Windows Active Directory Traffic (which resulst various TCP, UDP protocols).

Ifr for example I create an IPS filter containning these protocols , when requests reach firewall all traffic will be inspected by IPS filter for any protocols , OR 

example : if it is DNS traffic, only DNS replated IPS signatures will scan packets ?

 

Example: One IPS filter for DNS + LDAP, + NTP +ICMP

if for example I ping an IP address , by maching rule with this IPS filter, packet will be inspected for all protocols above or ICMP only ???

Thanks

As in the flow diagram, it wouldn't look for UTM profiles, and then execute inspections, until the traffic matches a policy. If the matching policy doesn't have UTM configured, the inspection based on the profile never happens.
